These benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased health and wellbeing as not having an easily accessible bin under your desk will encourage a moment to get up and stretch your legs to walk to the nearest bin station!<\/li>\n<li>Less plastic bin liners and resources being used to empty each little bin each day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your area would like options to consider for centralised bin stations, please contact the Environment and Waste department: <a href=\"mailto:RBWHWaste@health.qld.gov.au\">RBWHWaste@health.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To get involved in helping make the RBWH more sustainable, join the Green Team by contacting <a href=\"mailto:RBWHGreenteam@health.qld.gov.au\">RBWHGreenteam@health.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RBWH is moving with the times and our Green Team are reviewing their work areas to either reduce or remove the amount of general waste garbage bins under people\u2019s desks.<br \/>\nEveryone can get involved!
